Handbags and sandals made by Couro Ecologico, which means "ecological leather" in Portuguese. Couro Ecologico is a small worker-owned artisan group in the tiny Amazonian community, Maguary, whose products are made from locally-harvested rubber.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Set up a seller account on eBay for our organization

List the purses by adapting our existing listings from our own online shop

Write compelling descriptions for the jewelry and other product and list these on eBay

Track and evaluate visitor traffic, behavior and sales

The Director will be responsible for updating inventory and shipping out orders.

We estimate that you'll need to dedicated about 15 hours the first month (at your own schedule).. After that, it should only take a few hours each month to monitor and tweak listing to improve traffic and sales.
